BECOME A MEMBER

Even though HKCC plays a major part in creating equitable access to healthy options, we can’t do it alone. Membership in the Coalition shows that you want equitable choices that support healthy eating, active lifestyles and smoke-free living for all King County residents. A broad and strong membership gives the Coalition a louder voice when advocating for health equity and policies with our community leaders and elected officials. Only by working together can real solutions and more efficient services be accomplished.

Membership to HKCC is free and open to any individual, organization, company, or group that is:

Committed to collaboration and coordination through HKCC to implement community developed programs

Interested in creating sustainable health equity within communities

Aware that health disparity is a community-wide issue that cannot be solved by one organization alone
